I bought these flowers at the laiki (open market). Although I asked the vendor about them, I can't remember what they're called. I do know that they'll look great wherever I plant them.
Hi Syd! Yeah, I thought that they were peonies too, but I have those in Milwaukee and they're not quite the same. The name in greek starts with "n" so I'll figure it out eventually. I asked for the name 3x and by the time that I got home it slipped my mind.
Very pretty! I haven't had fresh flowers in the house for a long time because of the C-A-T-S but I can put some downstairs now. We finally cleaned up all the construction debris left over in the front of our gate so I'm hoping we (or somebody) can landscape it a bit, for what little there is. As long as it isn't me, because I have a black thumb as regards to growing things.
Although I'm not here with the blog as much as I used to be, I'm still out taking photos of everything and now I'm addicted to Instagram...so follow ccingreece if you want to see what I'm up to!

Welcome!
I've been married to my Greek husband for 23 years and we have 3 children ages 10 & under. 6 years ago, we moved to Greece and I started this blog so that my family & friends at home could keep up with what we're doing. Remarkably, this blog has taken a life of its own and I've come to know some pretty amazing people so it's more than just a blog about my family, it's about sharing my experience with anyone that's interested in my frequent musings & photographs. Enjoy! :)

Maybe they're peonies? I have no idea what that is in Greek. Beautiful, no matter the name.
